I just couldn't wait to try out the ramekins my daughter bought me for Christmas. I love them... nice for portion control too. This shrimp dish really hit the spot. Creamy good and just a hint of Sherry to the flavor. Can be served as an appetizer w/ toasted baguettes or serve over pasta as a main dish. It's impressive enough to serve guests. They will thank you!

How To Make ~ comforting au gratin shrimp cups ~ yum!

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a small saucepan, over medium heat - melt butter. Whisk in the flour and stir well to combine, continue cooking for a little over a minute, making sure not to burn.

Step 2

Add milk and stir until thickened.
Step 3

Remove from heat and add the green onion, salt, shrimp, cayenne, Sherry and Parmesan. Stir well. Butter ramekins and spoon equal portions into each. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of Parmesan for each. Next 1 tablespoon bread crumbs for each and a sprinkle of paprika.
Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes or until starting to bubble and begin to brown.
Step 5

Remove from oven and eat as is, or serve with a salad or over pasta. This would also be great served on garlic toasted baguettes. We love it!
